JAPAN STAND
Holding 2 Major Weapons In Reserve; Both Are Double Edged.
By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The Administration. is increasing its action against Japanese aggression, which is considers an even more serious immediate threat than Nazt invasion. . But it is holding in reserve two major weapons. One is American naval and’ air reinforcement of British Singapore. . The other is stoppage of American purchases of Japanese raw silk, by which Tokyo is largely financ5 ing her wars. Mr. Denny Both are dou-ble-edged, and therefore will be used by Washington only as a last resort. The danger in disaptching part of the American fleet to Singapore, as desired by the British, is obvious. It would divide our naval strength, when the President and Admirals insist that we need to double our forces. Might ‘Force’ War
Moreover, joining the British at the Singapore barrier. might “force Japan to fight to save face,” instead of stopping Japan without war as the British hope. Nobody can be certain which would result. The same uncertainty would exist in cutting off silk imports. This could be accomplished by slapping on a prohibitive duty, which would pinch Japan . . . maybe even to the point of an immediate, desperate war against Singapore, the Indies, and perhaps the Philippines. That, of course, is what Hitler wants and what the President does not want. But even without use of the two extreme weapons, Roosevelt, pressure against Japansese aggression is growing stronger.
Rearm China
This includes: 1. Rearming China for an offensive; (2) Wooing Russia, so Stalin will not succumb to Tokyo-Berlin pressure to cut off Russian military supplies; (3) Extension of the steeliron export embargo against Japan; (4) Checkmating Japanese purchases of strategic materials in Lat--in America; (5) Strengthening American armed forces in Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines, and (6) Building an informal alliance with Australia, New Zealand and the Dutch Indies, as with Britain.

OMAHA, Neb, Jan. 31 (U. P).—
"| Times Specinl
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31 — The much-advertised over-all agreemer.t between | the Wnited States and Mexico, for moriths so near and yet so far, has been delayed again. Thet is serious, becalise such an agree-
|ment is the keystone of the planned
U. S-Letin American co-operative defense structure. ‘There | is no | break, though the Mexican Ambassador has justi gone home for furthér instructions. But the status is hope deferred, rather than a prospect, of ‘quick action. Perhaps the | new President of Mexico, who hag talked much of the need for closer relations between the two neighbdrs, will cut through the snarl of diplomatic negotiations and facilitate g settlement, If so; there is no sign|of it here. The State Department is even more cagey thah usual on the sub-
ject. Indeed, it |is now denying thet
the negotiations Beiwesnt Undersecretary of State Suinner Welles and Ambassador Castillo Ngjera cover the new defense issues jalong with the old claims disputes. While this may be true technically, it is an open secre; that both Governments consider the ‘defense needs paramount and that the only immediate urgency of a claims settlement is to clear the way for joint armament measures. Thiey are now linked by two nefessities|of the defense program: Cne the need of American. financial aid to Mexico, and the other the need for eliminating old, festering disputes. Claims to be setts ed ink lude those arising from— Expropriation in| 1938 lof American, British and Dutch oil properties. (Sinclair las already settled its claim directly.) | Expropriation of lands of Americans (to 1927).
S.-Lafin-American Co-operative Defense Structure Dela ayed by Failure tq Reach Understanding With Mexico
Boundary disputes resulting from the changing course of the Rio Grande. American damage: cases from the Mexican revolution, including railways. Defense proposals involve— Joint naval bases on Mexico's Gulf and west coasts, including Magdalena Bay; or the less likely suggestion for outright United States acquisition of Lower California. U. 8. use of the strategic Tehuantepec Isthmus zone and, railway. Extension and modernization of Mexican air bases. Rearmament and training of the Mexican Army by the United States, through direct and indirect methods. Completfon of the Pan-American highway. This plan in general is compar-

The Mexican aspect is considered here the most important of the three major Latin American parts of the hemisphere plan, The others involve acquisition of U. 8. bases on Central and South American islands bearing on the Panama Canal, and better defense of the Brazilian bulge—the short route for invasion of the hemisphere from the Atlantic.

COOL TO MANDATE PLAN ON ELEVATION
The City so far is not taking seriously a suggestion that it seek to override the discretionary powers of the State Highway Commission in the quest for track elevation. The suggestion came from Edward H. Knight, Corporation Council, as a last resort to speed the long-sought elevation program. At present, the Highway Commission must give its consent before a municipality can mandate it to elevate tracks where a State Highway is involved. Mr, Knight's proposal would strip from the Commission this consent power. The result would be that the Commission would have to act whenever any city or town demanded elevation. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan has indicated he does not favor the proposal. He is convinced in the first place it wouldn’t succeed. The City two years ago made just such an attempt. It failed.

said “some of the boys are downright mad at Willkie’s recent actions” and that the matter would be rougnt before the meeting. A Chicago Republican leader also indicated there was a possibility of a heated discussion. At Des Moines, Ia. the indorsement of President Roosevelt's defense policy by the 1940 Republican presidential candidate also was expected to cause a dispute on the floor of the Young Republican Federation Convention. Some of the 1500 delegates attending the Des Moines convention were outspoken in their criticism of Mr. Willkie’s actions.
